Tier 2 gives you the ability to put not just your board policies in the system but any books including handbooks, procedures etc.  They instantly become web based when you drop them on the screen and are searchable in the paperless board meeting system.  Each board member and staff can create their notes in the books that only they can see.  It also increases the storage capacity and attachment sizes allowed.  Within the online Sparq Meetings application, your Policies, Files, and other Documents can be directly referenced on an Agenda Item.  The system will automatically convert the documents to a PDF and you will have full control over who can view and update files.  The policies can also be accessed from your public page as well.
